Roof Repair in Westgate - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Trusted Roof Repair for Westgate Homeowners

A leaking roof in Westgate is never just a leak. Water moves fast once it gets past the underlayment, and what starts as a small stain on the ceiling can turn into rotted decking, mold in the insulation, and damage to the drywall inside a few weeks. Ed Winslow has been fixing roofs across Palm Beach County since 2011, and the team at Winslow Windows & Doors handles roof repair the same way we handle every exterior job: diagnose the real problem, price it honestly, and fix it so it stays fixed. If you’re looking at a wet spot, missing shingles, or a drip after last night’s storm, call (561) 468-6136. We answer live, 24 hours a day, and we’ll get someone out to Westgate to take a look.

What Our Roof Repair Service Includes

Shingle Repair and Replacement

Westgate roofs take a beating from the summer sun and the squalls that roll through without warning. Cracked, curled, or missing asphalt shingles let water reach the underlayment, and once that barrier is compromised, you’re looking at sheathing damage and interior leaks. We inspect the surrounding shingles, not just the obvious gap, because a single loose tab usually means the sealant strip has failed across a wider area. Our crew replaces damaged shingles, re-seals the ones that can be saved, and checks that the nailing pattern meets Florida wind codes so the next storm doesn’t peel the repair right back off.

Flat Roof Repair

Some older Westgate homes and a lot of additions have flat or low-slope sections, and those are the most common places we find ponding water and seam failures. Flat roofs depend on the membrane, not gravity, to move water away, so a small puncture or a dried-out lap seam becomes a persistent leak. We patch and re-seal membranes, rebuild drains, and when needed, recoat the surface. Any flat roof repair we do includes a standing-water assessment, because if the water isn’t draining, the patch is only temporary.

Tile Roof Repair

Clay and concrete tile roofs are built to last, but the tiles themselves are brittle. A fallen palm frond, a pressure-washing mistake, or foot traffic from an air-conditioning repair can crack tiles and expose the underlayment beneath. We match replacement tiles to the existing profile and color as closely as possible, and we always check the battens and fasteners underneath, since a slipped tile often points to a fastener that gave out first. If the underlayment is compromised, we do the full repair, not just the cosmetic piece on top.

Metal Roof Repair

Metal roofs are tough, but they still leak at the seams, the fasteners, and the roof penetrations like vents and pipe boots. Over time, the neoprene washers on exposed fasteners dry out and crack, and the thermal expansion of the panels works the screws loose. We replace failed fasteners, re-seal laps, and fix or replace flashing at the points where metal roofs virtually always leak. If the roof has rust through the panel, we’ll tell you straight whether a patch will hold or whether a panel replacement is the honest answer.

Leak Detection and Repair

The hardest part of roof repair in Westgate isn’t the patch: it’s finding where the water is actually getting in. Water travels along rafters and under the underlayment, and the spot on your ceiling is almost never directly below the hole in the roof. We trace leaks with a systematic inspection that starts at the obvious penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights, pipe boots) and works down from there, and we verify the source before we quote any repair. When we’re done, we test the area to confirm the leak is actually stopped, not just hoping the first patch was the right one.

Flashing Repair and Replacement

Flashing is the metal that keeps water out at the roof’s joints and transitions: valleys, chimneys, walls, skylights, and vent pipes. On most Westgate homes, old flashing is either corroded, lifted, or sealed with caulk that hardened and cracked years ago. We remove failed flashing, replace it with new material bent to fit the actual roof geometry, and we use proper sealants made for roofing, not a tube from the hardware store. Done this way, flashing repairs outlast the surrounding shingles, not the other way around.

Storm Damage Repair

After a storm blows through Westgate, we see shingles scattered across lawns, lifted ridge caps, and leaking soffits where the wind pushed water in sideways. High wind doesn’t just remove what’s visible: it also fatigues the shingle sealant strips, and those shingles may not lift off until the next weather event. We handle storm damage from the tarp and temporary dry-in (when you need it now) through the permanent repair, and we work with your insurance company if you choose to file a claim. More importantly, we give you a written, itemized repair scope so the adjuster knows exactly what we found.

Ridge Cap and Vent Repair

The ridge cap is the high point of the roof, where two slopes meet, and it’s the first part of a shingle roof to fail in high winds. Missing ridge caps let wind drive water under the shingles from the top down, which means a small repair here prevents widespread damage everywhere below. We also service and replace roof vents (box vents, ridge vents, powered vents) that have rusted, cracked, or come loose. A failing vent is a slow leak that can run for months before the ceiling shows a stain.

Brands We Service for Roof Repair

Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, two of the most respected names in Florida impact protection, and that’s directly relevant to your roof repair in Westgate. When we install or service skylights, roof windows, or the roof penetrations tied to those brands, we’re working inside spec, using the right flashing kits and the right techniques. We’ve serviced hundreds of PGT and CGI installations, and we know how these products integrate with the roof so the seal holds. If a previous contractor installed a roof-adjacent product incorrectly, we find it during a leak investigation and correct it.

The same standard applies to Therma-Tru products. Therma-Tru makes entry doors that may not seem roof-related, but door installations that involve roofing transitions, such as covered entries or porticos, need proper integration with the roof flashing to keep water out. ViewLux contributes to the window and glass side, and roof repairs near dormers or clerestory windows often require coordination between the roofline and the glass. Whether you have PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, or any other make, our roof repair team has seen it, serviced it, and can fix the problem. If you’re uncertain whether a roof issue is related to an impact product or a door installation, call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll tell you what we find.

Signs You Need Roof Repair Right Now

• Water stains on ceilings or walls. A brown or yellow ring on the ceiling means water has already saturated the drywall, and the roof leak that caused it has likely been active for days or weeks. The longer it runs, the more of the roof deck and insulation is damaged. Get it checked before mold sets in.
• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles. A shingle that isn’t flat against the roof isn’t doing its job. Wind gets under the lifted edge, water rides down through the crack, and the shingle next to it starts to fail too. If you can see shingle damage from the ground, it’s already time.
• Granules collecting in gutters or at downspout bases. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age and wear, and the grit that washes off goes right into your gutters. A heavy accumulation there, especially with bare spots on the shingles, means the protective surface is failing and the shingles themselves are near the end. Repair may be possible, but we’ll tell you if replacement is the only honest route.
• Daylight visible through the roof boards in the attic. Go up there on a sunny day with the lights off. If you can see light coming through the roof deck, you’re seeing holes. And a hole that lets light through lets water through. This is one of the surest early warnings of a roof problem in Westgate, and it’s how we confirm leaks on many inspections.
• Sagging spots on the roofline. A visible dip or belly in the roof plane is a structural warning sign. It means the decking underneath is water-damaged and losing strength. This is not a wait-and-see situation: call (561) 468-6136 immediately. This is where roof repair saves you from roof replacement.

Our Roof Repair Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and talk to a live person. When you call (561) 468-6136, a real person answers – not a call center, not a voicemail tree. We take your information, ask about what you’re seeing, and schedule a time for a Westgate service visit. If you’re dealing with an active leak, we make sure your call is prioritized.
2. 2
   The roof gets inspected, top and bottom. We walk the roof surface and go into the attic when access allows. We check the shingles or tiles, the flashing, the penetrations, the ridge, and the valleys. In the attic we look at the decking from below, tracing stains and checking insulation. This is the step where we find the leak’s true source, not just the spot where water showed up inside.
3. 3
   We give you a written, itemized quote. We write down exactly what we found, exactly what we’re going to do, and exactly what it costs. You’ll see the material, the labor, and the time. Our upfront pricing means no surprise change orders halfway through. If you have a written estimate from another company, bring it in – we give free second opinions and we’ll tell you what’s needed and what isn’t. And if your repair is over $200, you get $40 off automatically.
4. 4
   Repairs happen on schedule. Our crew arrives in uniform, background-checked, and ready to work. We protect your landscaping and clean up at the end of each day. The repair itself follows manufacturer specifications and Florida codes. We don’t cut corners on nails, sealant, or flashing, because Ed Winslow’s name is on the work, and it has to be done right the first time.
5. 5
   We verify the fix and stand behind it. Before we consider the job done, the repair area gets tested. For leak repairs, that means water testing when possible. We then document what we did and confirm you’re satisfied. Every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a century of accountability, and we put it in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Repair in Westgate

What is roof repair?

Roof repair is the targeted fix of a specific problem on your roof: replacing damaged shingles or tiles, repairing leaking flashing, sealing membrane seams, or fixing the area around a vent or pipe boot. It’s different from roof replacement, which involves tearing off and replacing the entire roofing system. Repair is the right choice when the roof is otherwise sound and the damage is localized.

How long does roof repair take in Westgate?

Most roof repair jobs in Westgate are completed in one day. A typical shingle repair or flashing replacement takes two to four hours on site. Leak repairs that require opening up the roof, replacing damaged decking, and closing it back up might run a full day. When we give you your quote, you’ll know the timeline before we start.

How much does roof repair cost in Westgate?

Roof repair in Westgate typically runs $275 to $450 for shingle replacement, $300 to $600 for flashing work, and $800 to $2,500 or more for larger repairs involving decking or membrane work. The size of the damaged area, the roof pitch, and whether the decking underneath needs replacement are the biggest price drivers. Call (561) 468-6136 for an exact quote – the estimate is free.

Do you service PGT and CGI roof-related products?

Yes. We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, and we service the roof integrations that go with those impact products, including skylights, roof windows, and the flashing details around them. Many roof leaks we find in Westgate relate to an installation that wasn’t flashed properly. We fix the flashing and the leak, and we do it inside the manufacturer’s spec.

Are you available for roofing emergencies in Westgate?

We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we prioritize active leaks and storm damage. If a storm just blew through and water is coming into your home, call (561) 468-6136 right away. We’ll talk with you about what’s happening, help you protect the interior, and get a crew out as fast as the schedule allows.

What warranty comes with your roof repair work?

Every roof repair we do is backed by the Done Right Promise: if the repair isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. There is no fine print and no time limit on that promise. Manufacturer warranties on the materials we use apply as well, but the promise from Ed Winslow is the one that means the most: our name is on the work.

How should I prepare for a roof repair appointment in Westgate?

There’s not much to do before we arrive. Clear the driveway if you can so we can park the truck, and let us know if you have a gated yard or pets we should be aware of. If the repair relates to an attic leak, please keep the attic access clear; we may need to get up there to inspect from below. We’ll handle the rest.
